Banning guns in… Tennessee?
It would be a travesty if this bill becomes law.
Handgun permit holders would not be able to carry weapons into Tennessee establishments that predominantly serve alcohol under a proposal that passed a key legislative committee on Tuesday and is headed for a full House vote.
The proposal sponsored by Republican Rep. Curry Todd of Collierville was approved 20-6 by the House Finance Committee on Tuesday and will now be scheduled for a vote on the House floor. The companion bill is also awaiting a Senate floor vote.
Todd’s original proposal sought to allow handgun owners to carry weapons where alcoholic beverages are served unless posted otherwise.
But the measure was amended to require establishments whose food sales are less than 50 percent to prohibit guns. Other establishments that predominantly serve food could still “choose to prohibit guns in their establishments.”
Ridiculous. If you live in Tennessee please contact your representatives and get them to vote against this assault on your Second Amendment right.
Proof: Open Carry is a deterrent
From Georgia, comes this incident where open carry of firearms itself helped deter a robbery.
Matt Brannan and J.P. Mitchell were dining in the Wafflehouse on Barrett Parkway at I-575 in Kennesaw at 4:45 in the morning recently when a scout for an armed robbery crew entered the restaurant to case it. At the time, Matt and J.P. thought he looked a little suspicious, as he was wandering around the small restaurant like he was looking for someone. Unknown to Matt and J.P., two cars full of armed robbers were parked behind the restaurant waiting for the scout’s report.
The scout saw that two of the customers were wearing holstered 1911 Springfield Mil-Spec .45 pistols, and he immediately turned and left the store.
Meanwhile, conscientious Cobb County Police Officer D. Lowe had noticed suspicious cars sitting behind the restaurant in the dark and decided to investigate. He caught men with masks and rifles who had been preparing to rob the Wafflehouse. The criminals informed the police that they had changed their mind upon discovering armed customers and were waiting for Matt and J.P. to leave. Ironically, the police car was pulling in to the parking lot just as Matt and J.P. were driving away. In other words, had Matt and J.P. not been armed, the robbery probably would have occurred before the police intervened.
